modifying script to store images to folder
 

I don't really know how to program for databases and such, but i'd like to modify a script that stores pictures to a database, and make it store pictures to a folder.

This is not beginners stuff, so if you don't have a feel of PHP, I would suggest against it as you might end up breaking it.

Your two statements, are contradictory

Dean, you did not even read it in the right angle.. lol

the system actually store the pictures in the database, he wants them to be stored in the filesystem instead...

as it is not related to vBulletin, can you provide the url to the script so we can see what's going on with your script !?

... http://ca3.php.net/manual/fr/functio...t-contents.php ... this can be a lead to somewhere!

<font color="navy">In the admincp you can specify where to store your attachments. It also has functions to move attachments out of the db or back in.</font>

That's for vBulletin. I believe he's talking about a script other then vBulletin.

Its the vbgarage script, The reason i want to do this is because the image database for the garage gets extremely large.
when i update my vb version its a pain to import that huge table into the new database.

anyone?

It would be the best if you posted your question in the thread of that modification. Nobody can give you a generic answer on how to modify script "X" to support attachments in the file system.

Also as mentioned before, if you are not familiar with PHP coding i would advise against trying this yourself as it is not beginners stuff.

There is no longer support for the vbgarage script. Beginners have to learn somehow.
